Two metro stations closed July 21 - September 3 for major capital project
Beginning Saturday, July 21, and continuing through Monday, September 3 (Labor Day),
Metro will close two stations on the Red Line
, Rhode Island Ave and Brookland stations, for a major capital project.
During the 45-day project, Metro will return to Rhode Island Avenue Station to complete necessary structural repair work that began during SafeTrack. Rhode Island Avenue Station, Metro's oldest outdoor station, was closed on an emergency basis in 2016 when concrete fell from the aerial structure. Metro engineers stabilized the structure and performed additional remediation work during a SafeTrack surge in 2016 until permanent repairs could be completed.
The structural work, including rebuilding deteriorated platforms to improve ADA accessibility, requires that tracks be taken out of service to allow for demolishing existing structures, access to the construction area, and concrete pouring.
Free shuttle buses will replace trains between Fort Totten and NoMa-Galludet U, with reduced service across the Red Line. Customers should allow additional travel time and seek alternatives if traveling to or from the affected stations.
